Wondering if there is a place in Galway city where you can go and play table tennis? (Just as a hobby, like you would go to bowling) Would really enjoy it now and then.

Has anyone spotted a Bailey's easter egg anywhere around the city?
I know someone who really wants one, but they're crazy expensive on amazon.

Not sure if it's too late but saw this egg in Westside Dunnes this morning

Greaseproof paper for baking is close enough, maybe a euro-ish for a 10m roll?

Anyone have an idea what pharmacies might be open today?

East of the city preferably.
I'd hope some will open at 12.

Happy Days, the newsagents outside the Galway Shopping centre and also the newsagents up in Westside shopping centre usually have them. So probably lots of your usual newsagents stock them.

Tesco is the only one with any sort of a decent selection though. Like if you were stuck for a present for a birthday, you'd get sorted handily enough.
